"He muttered that his name was Roger and was silent again" Pg.22 |
This describes the character as very quiet and shy towards the group. Likes to keep his thoughts to himself. |
| Isabella/Araceli |
"There was a slight, furtive boy whom no one knew, who kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy. " Pg.22 |
Another small description of the character in which he seems like a boy with many thoughts and prefers to keep a low profile with the rest of the group. "Inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy" makes it seem like he is a gloomy boy, not very happy with and intense personality. |
| Isabella |
" Roger took the conch and looked round at them gloomily." Pg. 43 |
Again they are describing the character as gloomy and secretive. |
| Isabella |
"I've been watching the sea, there hasn't been the trace of a ship. Perhaps we'll never be rescued." |
Roger is very pessimistic and seems mature for his age. He, unlike the other kids does not feel that they will be saved. |
| Isabella |
"I expect they've gone. I expect they won't play either." Pg. 131 |
Roger has left to join Jack's tribe of hunter that has separated from Ralph's. This demonstrates that the character enjoys dark, gruesome things and is attracted towards them, like hunting. |
| Isabella |
"Roger stooped, picked up a stone and threw it at Henry -- threw it to miss." Pg. 62 |
Here we can see that the character although is not directly hurting Henry is enjoying the thrill and excitement over such dark and aggressive actions. |
